• Monitor contract burn rates, funding thresholds, labor rates, indirect rate application, cash flow, and margin performance, proactively identifying budget and profitability risks.
• Model and evaluate indirect cost pools such as Fringe, Overhead, General & Administrative (G&A), and Material Handling to assess profitability and competitive rate positioning.
• Monitor actual indirect expense absorption against target rates, support mid-year rate adjustments, and manage year-end true-up activities and Incurred Cost Electronically (ICE) submissions.
• Review subcontractor pricing proposals and BOEs, supporting Commercial Item Determinations and cost or price reasonableness analyses.
• Monitor subcontractor invoice burn rates against purchase order ceilings, funding commitments, and performance milestones.
• Develop scenario-based financial models and sensitivity analyses for executive leadership, including labor mix, fringe, overhead, margin, revenue, and cash flow scenarios.
• Track pipeline win probabilities against resource requirements to support multi-year revenue and gross-margin forecasting.
• Conduct post-award financial reviews comparing proposal assumptions with actual execution costs to improve future pricing strategies.
• Identify opportunities to automate and improve pricing and finance processes, creating scalable and reusable models and workflows.
• Assist with quarterly and annual financial reporting, statements, and disclosures.
